Broncos Sign Former Colt Guard Dylan Gandy

Posted Fri May 16th by

Scout.com has confirmed that the Broncos have just signed former Indianapolis Colt Guard/Center Dylan Gandy to the team.  It was a one year league minimum offer.  Gandy has been pursued by multiple teams but Denver won based off of their history of acquiring fast athletic offensive lineman and making them productive in the system.  For the measurables Gandy comes in at 6′-3″ and 302lbs.  He is said to be an excellent blocker in open space.  He started 11 games at left guard for injured Ryan Lilja during the Colts 2006 Super Bowl run.  Gandy was released in Indy after signing a one year deal when the team went for youth in the offensive line during this years draft.

It has been said that Dylan is a hard working blue collar type of guy and that he will be “worth watching” in training camp for Denver this year.  He started 3 of his 4 years at Texas Tech.

    So it’s up to us to look up his age, pros/weaknesses, hometown, creds, et al? So much for NO OFFSEASON! lol

    Our bad.

    Dylan Colter Gandy was born March 8, 1982, in Harlingen, Texas. He lettered in both track & field and football while at Pflugerville High School (I can’t make that name up). He likes long walked on the beach and his favorite color is green.

    There’s no doubt in my mind that the BroncoTalk Approval Ratings for P.J. Alexander had a direct effect on this signing by the Broncos front office. Bwa ha ha ha ha.

    its odd that this guy is only 26 and yet was lost for youth, unproven youth at that, he sounds great but i am a little suspicious of the reasons for release.

    As a Colts fan, Gandy is our loss and Denver’s gain. He was fun to watch and is another Christian athelete in the NFL. Good choice Denver.

    He went to Texas Tech.

    Now in all seriousness: It’ll be hard for him to break the roster, but it’s between he and P.J. so we’ll have to see how things turn out.
